High Holy Days – Supplemental Programming

Join the TBO community for an insightful discussion centered on Rabbi Angela Buchdahl’s book, Heart of a Stranger: An Unlikely Rabbi’s Story of Faith, Identity, and Belonging. We will open the session with Rabbi David Fine sharing his firsthand experience serving on the beit din that affirmed Rabbi Buchdahl’s Jewish identity, followed by an interactive group conversation facilitated by Linda Chessin. 

Whether you read the entire memoir or focus solely on Chapter 12, we invite you to be part of this dialogue. To help you prepare, a PDF of Chapter 12 along with Linda’s thoughtful discussion guide are available on our TBO website. For another engaging way to enter this material, we highly recommend the audiobook edition, which features Rabbi Buchdahl herself singing a song for each chapter. You can also enjoy this video interview with Rabbi Buchdahl.
